Samsung Behold 2 :: False Advertisement
Feb 15, 2010
It might not be completely false Advertisement, But seriously how many of us would have went out and bought this phone Knowing that we would be stuck with 1.5 mid February 2010? in this link first few sentences out of there guys mouth, Samsung claims we will get the update (this is what sold me on this phone). But this is ridicules.... I had a G1 prior to B2 and I would have stayed with my G1 If I knew I would be using Android 1.5 till now. Im ready to jump ship Id like to smash my B2 into little pieces and mail it to Samsung. I dont think I will buy another Samsung phone ever again. http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/www-phones-online-net/E1B60322A218A56F0B75E1B60322A218A56F0B75

I have my application running on a Motorola droid. We have successfully used it in the intended enviornment for 2 days collecting 340 readings. The app is not full featured but it is running. The data storage is complete and we store, create, delete... small data files on the sdcard. Our design team prefers, in this application, the small files on the external storage sdcard and does not want to use sqlLite.
My beta tester purchased a AT&T Samsung Captivate (Samsung SGH-i897). It seems to have two sdcards. In an earlier thread on this list, they were referred to as an "internal sdcard" and an "external sdcard". Our test unit has both installed. I am having trouble accessing the external storage sdcard. I utilized the code from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html to determine if the sdcard is installed and readable and writeable.
The code is:
CODE:...........
This code returns False which means it is neither readable or writeable. It prints the else - "in cksdcard, Something else is wrong".
The app will not run on the Samsung Captivate because it cannot access the data files on the sdcard.
Strangely, when I mount the device on the desktop computer, windows explorer shows two (2) connected usb drives which it calls E: and F:. E: is blank. I can copy the files to F:AndroiddatalmsmpT...... with windows explorer. Windows explored does not show /sdcard anywhere, it is probably using an Alias?
android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns "/sdcard" on BOTH the Moto droid and the Samsung Captivate.
''adb shell" works on the Samsung Captivate. "ls -l /sdcard" returns "access denied" or something like that. "ls -l" does show /sdcard in the root directory with the following attributes: "d---------" which means the owner, group, and user (everybody) have no rights at all.
How I might get read and write access to the sdcard on the AT&T Samsung Captivate?

Alright whats up people I was recently searching through and through for a way to get mobile internet without paying that ridiculous android price so as I was searching I stumbled across a regular behold forum at Samsung Behold Forum - New Proxy (TMobileX (Free Internet!)) - UPDATE: Analysis 01.07.10 -> 1500 Users because someone said free internet for it and I gave it a run to see if it would work with our behold 2 and surely enough it does.
Instructions on how to use proxy:
Open up the (default) browser on your Samsung Behold.
Type in the following address into the : tmo-x.co.cc/tmobilex/
Type in the address you want to visit in the form on the page and select whether or not you want to use my HTML trick (free; allows you to see sites in full HTML not 'WAP-stripped').

After many attempts to try and use the terminal emulator that is already preloaded onto the behold 2 , and many failures..After trying out different Terminal Em.'s and always having my phone lag because they wernt made for it...i have finally found a way to get terminal emulator working with no lag or no slow down in performance... First you must have root,of course, Next, Use an app called root explorer or something similar and goto the folder /system/app/ and find the two files Term.apk and Term.odex, and MOVE them to your sd card from your phone,you want them gone from your system/app folder After that simply goto the market and search for Terminal Emulator , re-download and there you have it, Working term. em. on the behold 2.Peace Ladz.

I have just recently bought a Behold 2 with the price drop. I like the phone except that it is very slow.
So i would like to root it and run a factory1.6 no twiz rom on it, but I'm having issues while doing it!....
I was succesfully able to get adb to detect my phone serial. but whenever I type in: adb shell /data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh
in the CMD, it returns with "permission denied"

This phone has the WORST idea for an sd slot.When trying to take out my sd card, i took off the cover that holds the sd card.I could use some pictures on how its supposed to look when connected. I have been trying to put it back on and all I ended up doing was bending it.I got my hands on an HTC Leo Windows mobile 6.5. Best implementation of an SD card slot ever.

Looks like samsung is getting tired of all the tweets asking about android updates for the behold 2 they just posted this on the samsung mobile twitter page:"Samsung Behold II users: At this time, we don't have information on an Android update for the Samsung Behold II.If we receive information on an update for the Behold II, we will be sure to keep everyone posted.
this was posted by samsung and is NOT in response to a question, they're just "keeping us posted." guess they are sick of us asking all the time, well...just give us a godd**n update then Sammy!!!!!

G1 and my Behold 2 her phone had good reception and the behold had nearly none. Half the time I don't get phone calls. They go straight to VM. My roommate's BB pearl gets double the reception mine does. My other roommate's Nokia gets even better reception. All on the T-mo network. Another friend who has a G1 same thing, he has reception I don't. Not to mention the other problems I have had. This is my 3rd Behold II by the way. Been replaced twice and back to Samsung for 3 weeks once.

Anyone been getting false notifications? For example, my phone just vibrated like it got an e-mail or text message, but when I checked my phone there was nothing going on at all. This has happened a few times so far.

I've noticed when I'm charging and using Google Nav in my car, sometimes I'll randomly get the green LED notification blinking in between the amber LED charging light, even when there's no new messages of any sort. Seems to go away once you unplug and plug it back in, but it's annoying since it gives a false positive for new notifications. I'm using the Rocketfish charger in case that makes any difference.
